Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I make this cocktail without vodka?

Do I have to chill the espresso first?

Yes — fresh espresso should be cooled to avoid melting the ice too quickly and diluting your drink.

Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?

You can use strong instant coffee, but freshly brewed espresso gives the best flavor.

How do I get the perfect frothy top?

Shake the cocktail vigorously for at least 15–20 seconds — this helps create that signature foam layer.
